Did you order yours through the GB? I wonder why the f@#$ I haven't gotten mine yet?!?!?!

I was like the 5th or 6th order placed and it's been over three weeks already!

1 millimeter?!?! Come on....that's not even noticeable. Post some pics and we'll let you know if it's that bad. I wouldn't sweat it, but if it bothers you that much, then just take it off and do it again.

I got it from spoiler depot via the GB.. I guess I'm a perfectionist.
No one else has noticed at all. They did a good job painting it, and it looks sharp on the car. Before putting it on I measured both sides and marked the trunk and spoiler with a dry erase highlighter. When I put it on it looked straight but I guess my measuremet on one side was a little off. It's actually a centimeter... I mispoke earlier. I'll post pictures. From a distance you cant tell. Only when you look close at the gaps or open the trunk and look at both sides. But since I know... It has been killing me. I think that I am slowly gtting over it. If I don't I may try the fishing line trick.. Thanks guys,

Bzabodyn, you might try calling them and getting your Fedex tracking number. It may just be that youtr location takes longer to deliver to.

Hey I'm a perfectionist too, or maybe obsessive/compulsive, so I feel your pain.

If it were me I'd do it over again. Otherwise each time I walked up to the car I'd see the problem and it would always bug me. (ya I know I need to seek professional help )

Like the old saying in carpentry, measure twice and cut once, except in this case it would be stick once.

I've not used the floss trick, but I would suspect that with a hair dryer and some patience you'll be able to get it off and do it over.

Hey...mine was malformed and rubbed the body on the driver's side. I had to pull mine off....NOT an easy thing to do. but strong, firm pressure when heated and it will come off. DO NOT scratch off the tape that is left, roll it with your fingertip and it comes off clean. Sent it back and they are sending me a new one. Hope this helps
